After the summer heat and before the winter rains, come to the Camel
Races at Palmyra, currently manifesting in Cragmere. The races will be
overseen by the Vizier’s Camel Master. All entries will be inspected for
soundness. For more information, contact Taroob at (250)334-6166.

The Camel Master will not tolerate drunken camels! (He was once bitten
by one…) Please conceal your beverages from these devious beasts.

Back your favourite team! Four weight classes!
By special permission of the Caliph, native dancing girls will be allowed
in to entertain! (Dancers, please contact Halima at (250)703-0494 or
